Before stepping into Hindi films, though very new and young, Waheeda placed two conditions on the directors of her films. One, she would never wear revealing clothes “which will make me feel so uncomfortable that it will take away from my performance” and two, “I will retain my original name given to me by my parents, Waheeda Rehman and will not assume a screen name” which she stuck to right through her career.

An Honest Actor is a ‘Work in Progress’ – Naseeruddin Shah

my dossier has more commercial films than all the art films I did put together. I worked in Mahesh Bhatt’s Sir, Dharmesh Darshan’s Lootere, Karma with Dilip Kumar and Bonny Kapoor’s Rajkumar in which I did a double role. Today too, films like A Wednesday, Ishquiyan, and Dedh Ishqiya are the kind of films I just loved to dig my teeth into.
